top 5 questions

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE VARIDESK OVER OTHER OPTIONS?

There are three main reasons customers choose VARIDESK:

Quality – We use high-grade materials that look great in any kind of office and last for years to come. With our steel frames and variety of finishes, it's easy to see that VARIDESK offers a superior product for any kind of desk.

Usability – Most of our VARIDESK products arrive ready to use without any assembly – simply remove them from the box and enjoy your active office. If a product does require light assembly, we include any tools you might need in the box, so nothing slows you down.

Convenience – VARIDESK is easy to order, ships quickly, and we offer a 30-day guarantee on every VARIDESK product. If you don't love it within that time, we'll pick it up, no problem, and at no cost to you. In fact, we offer free shipping to anywhere in Domestic Canada.

IS VARIDESK EASY TO SET UP?

That's actually one of the stand-out features we're so proud of. VARIDESK was designed to be as simple as possible to set up. Our desktop models fully assembled and ready-to-use right out of the box. Some of our other products require only minimal assembly so you’re up and working in just minutes.

We do recommend that you have someone help you lift your VARIDESK onto the desktop. Once it's on your desk, just place your equipment on top and you're ready to work.

HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN MY VARIDESK HOLD?

Please see the technical specifications section of the specific VARIDESK you're interested in for exact weight limits. To give you a general idea, most average size models have a recommended weight limit of 35 lbs or 15.8 kg. Our larger models usually have a weight limit of 45 lbs or 20.4 kg. Our Pro Desk line can hold even more.

DOES THE VARIDESK WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TALLER THAN 188 cm OR SHORTER THAN 162 cm?

Yes, there are VARIDESK models to suit people of different heights. When it comes to our taller fans, we recommend the Exec Series, which was specifically designed with an extra 14 cm of height built in to extend higher than our other methods. And with up to 11 different height-adjustment settings, users only need to lift their VARIDESK up to a height that's comfortable to them. As long as your current desk sits at your personal height, a VARIDESK on top will turn it into a sit-stand desk that suits you.

WILL IT BE HARD TO RAISE MY VARIDESK WITH ALL MY EQUIPMENT ON TOP?

Actually, because of the way our spring-loaded boost system works, having more equipment on top of your desk will help you raise your VARIDESK quickly and smoothly. Just don't exceed the weight capacity of your model. They all feature a spring-assisted mechanism that manages the weight so you can easily lift and lower it in just a few seconds.

measuring

WHAT'S THE MINIMUM MEASUREMENT THAT WILL FIT A VARIDESK?

Please see the
Find My Fit page and look at the specific VARIDESK you're interested in for exact measurements.

Most standard desks have plenty of room for a VARIDESK because they come in several sizes to work with almost any workspace. All VARIDESK models have their width in inches in the name of the product. For example, the ProPlus 30™ needs a desk 76 cm wide, while the Exec 40™ needs a desk at least 102 cm wide. It's equally as important to measure for depth, as for the Cube Series, your desktop only needs to be 55 cm deep, but for the ProPlus™ Series, your desktop needs to be at least 66 cm deep.

installation

DO I HAVE TO FASTEN OR PERMANENTLY INSTALL A VARIDESK ONTO MY DESK?

No, that's the beauty of it! You simply place any ProPlus™ Series, Exec Series, Cube Plus™ Series, Cube Corner® Series or Compact
Series VARIDESK on top of your existing desk with no need for tools or hardware of any kind. It's cleverly designed to handle the weight of your equipment while staying safe and sturdy at any height. The steel-weighted base keeps your VARIDESK where it belongs so it doesn't tip over. You can move your VARIDESK any time you want without causing scratches or damages.

ARE VARIDESK PRODUCTS EASY TO STORE AND MOVE?

Extremely. Most VARIDESK products fold flat for simple storage and can easily be moved with the help of a coworker. You can even move the Compact Series by yourself.

CAN MY VARIDESK HANDLE MORE THAN ONE MONITOR?

Absolutely, as long as you choose the right size. Our models ranging from 91-102 cm wide are specifically designed to fit up to two 24" monitors. For any setups larger than that, we would suggest a 48" model. You should also consider one of our single or dual monitor arms to keep your screens where you want them while freeing up desk space. The ProPlus™ 30 can only accommodate single-monitor setups.

WHERE CAN I GET THE VARIDESK APP?

cleaning

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN MY VARIDESK?

It's easy. Just use a warm, damp cloth to clean the surface of your VARIDESK, and make sure it's dry before replacing any electronic equipment. Please do not use any chemicals or harsh abrasives as they may damage the finish.

HOW DURABLE ARE VARIDESK PRODUCTS?

Made from steel and other highly durable materials, all of our products are built to handle the daily rigors of your job for years to come.

IS THE VARIDESK PLUS KEYBOARD DECK ADJUSTABLE?

On models with a lower keyboard deck, like our ProPlus series, it is not adjustable and simply moves up and down with the VARIDESK. However, some VARIDESK models with a lower keyboard tray do have the ability to extend the tray. Check the technical specifications for each model to be sure.
